OT: Kevin Durant

[Kitaman]

Is this guy actually 6'9"? I think he's 6'11" (Perkins is 6'10) but regardless to do this stuff is amazing:

 

[UConn Esq]

6'9" without shoes, 6'10.25" with shoes. According to the NBA camp pre-draft measurements at least.

Thought it was widely believed he, like KG, grew some after the draft.

Certainly think he may have - looks a full 6'11" to me. Just figured i'd throw out some hard facts at least.

And like KG, he doesn't like to list his actual height and likes to list himself as sub-7' for perception reasons.

Never really understood that. Bill Walton did the same thing. Some rumors say he was 7-2 and there are a few pictures of him standing next to Shaquille and they are at least the same height if not Walton being a bit bigger. Never understood what the "bad perception" is with being a 7 footer with ball skills.

Stood next to Walton in the UConn Health Center lobby. I don't know how tall he is but he real big.

Fixed just in case you are 6' or shorter.

That's probably the closest to the Dr. J move I've seen. Not as good, but still ridiculous. Man, would've been cool to see KD in a UConn uni.
